Troubled by Acne Issues?

Why do we need to treat Acne skin issues?

Acne can worsen and form permanent scarring on the face or skin if left untreated, and it is also considered rather unsightly and may affect a person’s self-esteem and quality of life.

Patients need to be aware that active acneis considered a skin disease, so it is not readily treated with over-the-counter skincare products or non-medical beauty skincare providers. Accurate medical diagnosis and good clinical experience from a doctor are critical in providing the most effective medical treatments.

Who are prone to develop Acne issues?

Acne is a very common skin issue, and can still occur in middle-aged adults, especially in ladies above 30 years old onwards, so it is not just only confined to teenagers and adolescents, contrary to popular belief,

What is Acne caused by?

How One Face Clinic can help you.

Our doctor has years of clinical experience in acne treatment and prefers a personalized and friendly approach to address each patient’s concerns. During the preliminary consultation, our doctor will:

Our treatments are generally comfortable with minimal downtime

We’d like to make the treatments Affordable for you

Many patients are unaware that not all acne issues require laser treatments and some can be effectively treated with just topical skincare products or oral medications. Topical treatment starts from about $250 including doctor consultation fees. If laser treatments are required, our Laser Program starts from $1500.

We hope that patients do understand that there is no “one-size fits all” treatment plan. Every individual’s skin type is different, and depending on the type and severity of the acne, treatment costs can vary widely for everyone.

We highly recommend patients to come down for a full assessment (no obligation) by our doctor to devise a personalized treatment plan for you in order to more accurately gauge your cost of treatment.
